Marine GPS Navigator
GP-150

The GP-150 consists of an antenna and display unit.
The display unit is a 6" silver bright LCD,
offering optimum viewing around the clock.
In order to improve position accuracy, WAAS
and DGPS* augmentation systems are
available.Dual configuration, with a second
system, provides a backup and/or
remote operation to ensure system
availability.
*Internal or external beacon receiver is required for
utilizing DGPS.

MARINE GPS NAVIGATOR
Display Unit
FURUNO GP-150 is a GPS navigator designed for the SOLAS ships according to the GPS
performance standard IMO Res MSC.112(73) and associated IEC standards effective on and
after July 1, 2003. It is a highly reliable standalone EPFS (electronic position fixing system)
that feeds positioning information to AIS, Radar, VDR, VideoPlotter, Autopilot, Echo Sounder
and Sonar.
Receiver dependability is improved by fault detection using five satellites, i.e., Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) that shows the integrity status in Safe, Caution, and
Unsafe levels. The status is given with respect to user selected accuracy level, 10 m or 100 m.
RAIM also works on DGPS signals.

n for SOLAS carriage requirements as a
device and as a sensor for AIS, Radar, VDR, etc.
sFully meets new IMO Resolution MSC.112(73) and IEC 61108-1 Ed.2 for SOLAS carriage
requirements on and after 1 July 2003
sIdeal sensor of SOG and COG for AIS, radars, and other navigational aids
sAugmentation to enhance accuracy by standard fitted WAAS
and optional DGPS
sDisplay modes: VideoPlotter, 3-D Highway,
Text, Steering.
sMemory: 2,000 points for ship's past positions
and marks (incl. 99 event marks max.);
999 waypoints; 30 routes
each containing up to 30
waypoints
Display mode is selectable from VideoPlotter, Text,
Highway and Steering. In the Highway mode, you can
intuitively see how to steer and where the next
waypoint is located relative to your ship. It is useful
when you are following a series of waypoints along a
planned route.

The SOLAS Chapter V
as amended in
December 2000 prohibits
new installation of current
GPS receivers which are
disigned to IMO A.819
after 1 July 2003*. With
the comparison table,
you will see why we say
the new IMO equipment
is epoch making.
* Some Administrations may give a grace period for the current GPS receivers.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not work inside the
equipment unless totally
familiar with electrical
circuits.
Hazardous voltage which can
cause electrical shock, burn
or serious injury exists inside
the equipment.
Turn off the power at the
mains switchboard before
beginning the installation.
Post a sign near the switch
to indicate it should not be
turned on while the equip-
ment is being installed.
Fire, electrical shock or
serious injury can result if the
power is left on or is applied
while the equipment is being
installed.
Ground the display unit to
prevent loss of sensitivity
and mutual interference.
Confirm that the power supply voltage
is compatible with the voltage rating
of the equipment.
Connection to the wrong power supply
can cause fire or equipment damage. The
voltage rating appears on the label at the
rear of the display unit.
Use the correct fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
equipment damage.
Keep the following compass safe
distances:

3. DISPLAY UNIT
The display unit can be installed with either of four methods as shown below. Refer to the
outline drawing at the end of manual.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the display unit away electromagnetic field generating equipment such as motor,
generator.
• Allow sufficient maintenance space and a sufficient slack in cables for maintenance and
repair.

2. Insert the unit to the cutout.
3. Attach two flush mount metals to the unit with two hex bolts (M6X12) and two spring
washers.
4. Screw four wing bolts to wing nut.
5. Fasten the unit with wing bolts assembled at step 4, and then tighten nuts.

4. ANTENNA UNIT
Mounting
Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram at end of manual. When
selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind the following points.
• Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception
of the GPS satellite signal.
• Be sure the location offers a clean line-of-sight to satellite. Objects within line-of-sight to
a satellite, for example, a mast or funnel, block reception and cause prolonged acquiring time
or interruption of position fix.
• Mount the unit as high as possible. Mounting the antenna as high as possible keeps it free
of water spray, which can intercept reception of GPS satellite signal, if water spray is frozen.
• The antenna unit GPA-018S must be grounded. Connect ground wire of 1.25 sq or larger
(local supply) between the antenna unit and a stainless steel screw fastened to the mast.
• The antenna unit GPA-018S must be taped. See next page.
• The antenna unit should be fixed to the mast as below.
Coat here with silicone sealant to
prevent breakage of the cable by
vibration.
Wrap the vinyl sheet to prevent
the breakage of the cable, and
then fix it with a hose clamp.

Taping antenna unit GPA-018S
After inserting the whip antenna to the antenna base of GPA-018S, tape the antenna base
and whip antenna with self-vulcanizing tape and vinyl tape to reinforce the whip antenna.
1. Wrap the antenna junction point with butyl rubber tape No.15 (NITTO SINKO COOP.) or
the equivalent.
How to wrap
1) Pull the tape to be about two times in length and wind it up, overlapping by 1/2 the width
of the tape.
2) Wrap from bottom to top, i.e., from right to left as in the picture below.
Butyl rubber tape
Whip antenna Base Antenna
3) Wrap the tape from the base to a point about 60 mm, and then back to the base.
Keep tension on edge of tape, using finger to hold tape. Then, squeeze edges of tape
with thumb and index finger.
Wrap approx.
60 mm
2. Completely cover the butyl rubber tape with white vinyl tape, wrapping from the base to
the last wind of butyl rubber tape and then back to the base.
How to wrap
1) Being careful not to pull the tape too tightly, wind tape, overlaping by approx. 1/3 of tape
width.
2) Squeeze edges of tape with thumb and index finger.

Grounding
The display unit contains several CPUs. While they are operating, they radiate noise, which
can interfere with other radio equipment. Ground the unit as follows to prevent it.
• The grounding wire should be 1.25sq or larger.
• The grounding wire should be as short as possible.
External Equipment
The DATA1, DATA2, and DATA3 ports are used to connect an external equipment such as
autopilot, remote display, navigation equipment. Refer to the interconnection diagram on
